10 Great QSR Franchise Deals

The quick service restaurant industry can be particularly well suited to franchising versus striking out on one’s own. QSR magazine has stuck its neck out and listed a very interesting “10 Great Franchise Deals” which include short descriptions to help an interested potential franchise buyer zero in on a selection. Most (but not all) of the descriptions even include annual unit volume (AUV) to give a rough anticipated return on investment.

The 10 companies are El Pollo Loco, Subway, Papa John’s, Qdoba Mexican Grill, Saladworks, Domino’s Pizza, Seattle’s Best Coffee, Long John Silver’s, Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen and Culver’s.

As always, an article is just a start or adjunct and all figures, facts and concepts relied on for an actual buy should be nailed down independently through one’s own research (Internet search, annual reports, talk to the chain’s franchisees and ex-franchisees, work at a unit, etc.) before signing on the dotted line.
